SD - free Vitamin E skincare set when you buy 3 skincare products. Cheapest included is Garnier face mask @ 15p each - although currently in the 'notify when back in stock' list. And also the sunflower body lotion down from £5.99 to 60p (also NWBIS)

Morning all

As you probably know, I live in Watford. We have neither a Lidl nor an Aldi. Sometimes I work in Hemel Hempstead which has 2 x Aldi. Yesterday I discovered they will be getting a third Aldi early next year. Life is very unfair at times lol.

Borehamwood has a Lidl, that can't be too far away. We are rumoured to be getting an Aldi soon, not sure if that is true - can the same retail park support an Aldi as well as Lidl?

The Elite know stuff so maybe you can advise please ...

Has anyone recent experience of replacing a system boiler please? We are in the unfortunate position of needing one immediately as ours has died :mad::(. It should be a simple switch as it is taking out the old one and putting in the new in its place (I know, nothing is ever that simple!).

I have stumbled across the B0xt website which seems to be reasonable, fixed price and significantly cheaper than a number of other online quotes I have tried. I don't like these situations as it just soaks up time getting quotes so anything I can do quickly online is a bonus.

I don't have the time to spend on this as really busy and would probably gain little procrastinating as it needs doing now. I just want it sorted quickly to reduce the stress in case the weather changes .

Many thanks

Anon

we went with British Gas because they cover any extras needed that become apparent as they are working.

Out of curiosity, have you got a water softener that uses salt? Just that they can corrode the heat exchanger.

We have and that restricted our choice of manufacturers.

Ew we have just been reported to missing education dept for our dd being on holiday the first three days of school. Is it £60 per parent per day or do you get a warning letter first? The holiday was like £400 cheaper but going home later! Any advice appreciated. Having said that I did recoup from ryanair £444 for a delayed flight for two of us.

I'd offer them half in full and final settlement. I bet they don't want to be chasing people to force payment. "Per parent per day" is a con, why should a 2 parent family pay double??

Laundry has weird things hanging on clip strips so quite possibly.

Our Sainsburys has a end of ailse shelf with various pringles flavours for £1 - its not a reduced to clear and they look like normal size to me. Its opposite bakery, other end of the shop to the crisp section - its been there for a week now as I doubt if anyone else knows about it :rotfl:

Check your marks Sparks as the offers have updated and it looks like everyone gets different offers - no idea how they figure it all out.

OH has the best food offer again - spend £10 and get £2 off - on my card I have to spend £15

He also has spend £65 on coats get £10 off

The spare card has £5 off handbags but cant see anything cheap enough that looks interesting - might need more thought.

My card though had the best offer - £5 off leggings etc so I had a look at the reduced section and found cotton rich leggings long length size 14 so perfect sizing in a fetching forest green colour and in the sale for £8.50 - so £3.50 in real money. Free click and collect arriving to my simply store on Friday :T

Also looking in my Marks wallet I found a voucher which came with the mailing with a code worth 200 Marks points - £2 in vouchers - these will come with the next quarterly mailing about November time so I should have £4 in loyalty vouchers

There are advantages to running the night shift all by myself

Good morning. Hope you are all well and have survived the storms.



APG is still saying not enough items for me this morning.
